It's not "requiring this constraint". If you have some plausible pathway to get from our current system to some "Star Trek-like nirvana", I'm all ears. Hand-wavy-ness doesn't cut it.

Why? For most of human history there were a few overloads and everyone else was starving half the time. Even look at now. I'm guessing you probably live a decent existence in a decent country, but meanwhile billions of people around the world (who can't compete skills-wise with upper income countries) barely eke out an existence.
For the world that just lived through the pandemic, do you honestly see systems changing when worldwide cooperation and benevolence is a prerequisite?
